Pull up work-kipping is hurting back. Jeff, Mikki & I worked on changing my kip to lessen this.

Back squat-got up to 110 x 5, back held out fairly well but depth is an issue due to pain and the fear factor

Yesterday I was back at it after a lovely 5 day birthday trip to Mexico with my now 40-year-old wife. Lots of Mexican food & Margaritas don’t equal out to high performance upon return.

1000M Row

Back Squat
WU Sets, then a short work set of 245 x 3 x 2 to figure out my recent form trouble. We did & I look forward to getting back on the train next week.

5 Minutes - AMRAP

T2B & K2E (Numbers for both exercises must be even, i.e. - the same number of each when the clock strikes 5 or you don’t get to count the extras.) I got a paltry 26.

Then a variation on one the Stupid Swede & DumbAss show brought to town a couple days ago.

“Uppity Randy’s Little Niece”

15 Rounds

2 Seated Muscle-Ups
5 Hang Power Snatch, 75#

Was on pace to finish only a couple minutes after Jeff’s time, but things went south in rounds 14 & 15.

What weights do you use for the 30 rounds for time. That sounds fun also

My strategy - I plan to try it with my 30# bar to set the baseline.  Then, I can keep getting PRs. 

Pack:

Four rounds:
20 Glute-ham sit-ups
15 Back extensions

8:27

No headache this time.   Couch rubbed a hole in my left big toe.

sounds good to me

So, if I was doing Barbara and I couldn’t do all the pull-ups, the “go to” plan would be jumping pull-ups dropping as slow as I can, correct? Or would it be better to do .... beginner pull-ups like my fiance….

I can believe it…

I am still improving, last time Barbara Lite

2.59 - 2.51 - 2.44 - 2.46 - 2.45 - Total - 14:05

Today

2.21 - 2.14 - 2.14 - 2.19- 2.42(inc stooping for 5 secs to video squat form)

Total 11min 50 secs - improvement of 2min 15secs!! Pushed hard, felt blasted at the end but wow so pleased with result
